When I look down at my pale, skinny body, I wonder why any woman would want to sleep next to it, let alone embrace it.

We make fun of those we're most scared of becoming.
Neil Strauss

That's how hatred is created: two different groups, each insisting they're on the moral high ground
Neil Strauss

A couple of kind words can not only make a person's day, but earn you a friend and supporter for life. For the rest of the week, whenever you see someone you want to judge negatively, pay them a compliment instead. See what happens.
